Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0040
The "Youth Crew to Maintain Trails at Shenandoah National Park" notice is a National Park Service (NPS) public announcement explaining its intent to make a financial assistance award, not an open call for applications. In other words, it is not requesting proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as formal notice that the NPS plans to support a specific set of project activities under an existing cooperative agreement arrangement.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 19 NERO 0040) through the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, with an education-related activity focus (CFDA 15.931). The notice identifies the intended partner as Conservation Legacy under Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00024. The stated purpose of this partnership is twofold: to complete priority conservation work and to provide young adults with structured, safe, and challenging employment-based experiences that build personal growth, practical life skills, and a long-term ethic of natural resource stewardship.
Project work centers on fielding a small crew of five youth who will perform trail maintenance and repair across Shenandoah National Park using only hand tools. The work is spread across the park-wide trail network and includes both Wilderness and non-Wilderness settings, covering equestrian and hiking trails. Although the crew will coordinate directly with NPS trails staff for at least four days during the project, and the NPS will retain responsibility for directing and adjusting the work plan, most of the day-to-day work is expected to be carried out independently by the youth crew.
The on-the-ground tasks are practical, labor-intensive maintenance actions aimed at protecting trail infrastructure and reducing erosion. Specifically, the crew will repair and maintain rock and log erosion control features within trail corridors, including check dams, steps, lateral drains, and water bars. Additional duties include vegetation maintenance along trails and removal of downed trees using hand tools. Work assignments will be distributed throughout the entire park rather than being limited to a single trail segment or district, reflecting a park-wide approach to addressing routine maintenance needs.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice lists an award ceiling of $34,000 and anticipates a single award. Eligibility is described in the source data as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the text makes clear that this particular posting is meant to announce NPS intent rather than solicit competing applications. The notice was created on June 7, 2019, with an original closing date of June 16, 2019, consistent with a time-limited public notice process rather than an application window for competitive submissions.Apply for NPS 19 NERO 0040
